Jake Paul to return to the ring on Dec. 15

‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul will return to the boxing ring on Dec. 15 against an opponent yet to be named.  Most Valuable Promotions made the announcement on Monday via press release.    

Paul is coming off a unanimous decision win over former UFC fighter Nate Diaz in his last outing.  He’s 7-1 in his boxing career with four knockouts.  The December bout will be co-promoted by Most Valuable Promotions and DAZN.    

“8 fights in the boxing game and I’m already its biggest name,” said Paul. “I’ve proved that I can headline the biggest global events and defy the odds. PPV after PPV after PPV, and I’m just getting started. My mission is to be a world champion and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there. December 15th is the next step on my journey, and I promise you’re not going to want to miss it.”
